Alternator Denso or OEM BMW

Actually you must use a Denso, the OEM manufacturer for the Odyssey.* It can be a rebuilt, but should be one rebuilt by Denso. Apparently the real Denso should be available at NAPA.

I\u2019ve been using Denso remans lately because a lot of the cheap remans are junk and a won\u2019t make it a year.

I am not sure what year your odyssey is, but I know you can go to rockauto.com and find the Denso remanufactured alternator that is the best one to get.

All the others tend to go bad within a year or less.

Ordered a denso reman alt for my 08 tsx last year and it fixed charging system issues I kept having with aftermarket alternators:)

I think the Denso alternator is the ONLY remanufactured alternator I will buy. I've been burned too many times trying other remanufactured brands.

But I typically always buy NEW alternators from RockAuto. Sometimes the bearing is bad out of the box so I have to return it and get another. But when I get a quiet one, they seem to work fine. Nice and steady voltage output around 14.3V

Just buy a reman denso

Ok, so it's a toyota so odds are it's a denso or denso style alternator. I used to rebuild Alternators, you will need access to test certain parts like the regulator, or diode trio, or the windings to see where it's failing.

Alternator went out a few days ago, replaced it with a remanufactured Denso from rockauto. It was a pain to install , now I'm getting code P0335 for crank position sensor. Car turns over and cranks but does not want to turn on .

Get the name brand Denso part and save yourself having to replace it 3 times in a month until you finally get a good one.

Denso only aftermarket will leave you stranded every couple years. I have went through 2 of them. They both gave a very short warnings before they go.
